Romancing SaGa 2 is a welcome return, proof that the RPGs of the past still have something to offer. But despite fascinating mechanics, its porting nature from the mobile version penalizes the entire production.

Tropico 6 builds on the strong foundations of the series by Limbic and Kalypso, expanding and enriching its classic structure and contents, but with limited variations and a disappointing presentation on Nintendo Switch.

More an update to the original experience than a sequel, Cities XL 2011 It's too easy and linear compared to other, older representatives of the same genre. Our advice is to keep playing Sim City 4.

Lake has a message and it knows how to communicate it. The real problem is Lake has a videogame: it would have benefited from a major complexity.

Red Faction Guerrilla Re-Mars-tered comes back to console offering a fun adventure based on explosions, but he has aged badly.

Project X Zone is somewhat too long and enemies are more cannon food than real threats, however the sheer amount of fanservice and the immensely fun combat system make up for its flaws.

The Sims 4 moves away from its predecessors, but the result is cool and fun.

This could've been a great improvement over the original formula, instead it's just a more of the same with the same problems of the first episode.

With improvements on both technical and gameplay aspects, The Last Remnant Remastered shines a new light on Square-Enix underappreciated jewel.

WET isn't a bad action game after all. Ruby's acrobatics quite meet the frantic gameplay while the smart design of some locations allows players to give vent to their killing fancy. But WET is actually just a boring sequence of repetitive environments and situations. The game itself lasts just a few hours, no online mode is available and the content to unlock is plain and useless. We would like to talk about neat ideas but truth is that Ruby got WET just because she failed a jump and fell in the water.

A decent Descent-like shooter that unfortunately lacks of variety and fresh ideas.

Digimon Survive brings back the digital monsters, in a curious hybrid between visual novel and turn-based combat system.

Despite the single player does not last for long and there are some defects, such as lack of interactivity with the environments, Homefront is an interesting and well told experience, with a multiplayer that can compete with the other heavyweights of the genre.

Virtua Tennis 2009 is a well crafted game, which will remind you of the previous episodes under too many respects to feel somehow like a new title in its own. It's still a good game and one of the best tennis games out there, but the times, during which Virtua Tennis would have left you staring in awe, are definitively gone.

Pride of Nations is a deep turn-based strategy game where the player can determine every aspect of a nation. Is a good game, but not for everyone.

Dead Effect is yet another first person shooter with zombies, with some very good graphics and a pretty lengthy campaign, but also some issues with controls.

Quotation forthcoming.

Cellfactor is like a sum of FPS’ history, or, if you like, a big container including typical weapons, powers and bonus items, taken from this genre’s last decade of games. It may very well appeal to FPS’ fanatics, who are willing to look over Cellfactor’s, many, drawbacks.

Fate of the World is a bold experiment, able to deal with unusual subjects for a game and to present some original ideas. Too bad for the repetition of situations and the poorly calibrated difficulty level.

Été is a relaxing and beautiful game, full of poetry. Try it if you are searching for something different.

A game where compromises are completely absent: Aero Porter is totally peculiar in its premises, setting, gameplay, difficulty, relationship with the player. You'll either love or hate Saito's new work, but one thing must be said: it does perfectly what it wants to do.

If you're an SNK devotee, you just can't miss this Collection: it offers five games perfectly emulated, lots of action and a solid gameplay. Fifteen years have passed since the first iteration in The King of Fighters series, so don't expect nothing more than a classic beat'em-up, with all the strength of its tradition.

Ghost Recon Online has a great map design and matchmaking problem. Too many matches are ruined by the massive presence of snipers. Potentially it is a great game, but is ruined by its ambitions.

Dead Money has clearly been made for New Vegas veterans, it offers great longevity and ask you to forgive its trial and error structure. If you are a veteran and you like to try and fail, you should give this DLC a try.

Dead Star combines the appeal of classic space shooters with the depth of RPG elements. It’s fun, fast paced, founded both on cooperation and strategy.

Sengoku is not for everyone. Paradox has made another great hardcore strategy game, with a great scenario.

Remnant From the Ashes is a good game, but it is clear that the Switch version is not the best and not preferable if you have other platforms. On the technical side, every element has taken a visible hit, but the frame rate is stable enough that you can play without too much worry. It is probably not the best game for outside play, but it also depends on your taste. However, if you only have a Switch and have always been intrigued by this adventure, we recommend it.

This celebration for the 25th anniversary turned out to be a real disappointment; a short audio cd and a ultra-thin booklet are just simply not enough to thank the old italian plumber for his fantastic career.

Resident Evil: Chronicles HD Collection offers a fun, exciting way to relieve some of the most important events from Resident Evil saga.

The Bowling Dead is a fun, somewhat original action game in which you can kill zombies by using a... bowling ball.

Galaxy of Heroes is the demonstration that the Star Wars template is not enough to save an already criticized formula.

Pokémon Link: Battle! is an extremely competent "match 3" rich with many stages to unlock and play through. It gets repetitive after a while but its addicting gameplay and an entire PokéDex to fill make it perfect for short-burst sessions on the go.

Deception IV is a lot of fun but gets repetitive very fast with its redundant challenges and lack of a meaningful plot.

Surgeon Simulator 2 is still as funny as its predecessor when you have to remove organs and saw arms, but the new puzzle game dynamics simply don't fit.

From a technical point of view this new UFC is incredible but in terms of gameplay it lacks a deep career and a handful of different modes.

Grow Up delivers a nice and fresh platform experience: if you liked Grow Home, this new episode will please you as well.

If Terminator 2 is one of your favorite films and you have a soft spot for early ’90s arcade titles, then Terminator 2D: No Fate is exactly what you’re looking for. The attention to detail in reimagining the movie as an arcade experience is remarkable: three distinct playable characters, run ’n gun sections, high-speed chases, and even stealth and beat ’em-up levels. Every scene is brought to life with gorgeous pixel art. It’s only a shame that, despite its variety, the gameplay remains a bit too basic in each of its different forms.

Truckers Delight was originally an irreverent, funny and politically scorrect clip directed by Jérémie Périn; however, the game dedicated loses the best ideas and reduces the originally concept to an anonymous arcade race game.

PREDATORS would have surely done without 24 identical levels. To be clear, the game is very entertaining, technically amazing and as much brutal as satisfying; certainly better than the usual tie-in formula. Anyway, it would be better with different game modes, a co-op or deathmatch multiplayer option, more environments or a greater variety of enemies.

That's You! delivers an immediate experience, accessible to anyone within a few minutes. If you have a bunch of funny friends, this game can be a blast.

Project Zero: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse still delivers a creepy, fascinating experience that draws on the imagery of Japanese ghosts legends to lead us to a cursed island where an absurd tragedy took place several years earlier. Unfortunately the game feels all the weight of these fifteen years when it comes to gameplay, structure and graphics.

Code Name S.T.E.A.M. tries something new: it doesn't entirely succeed at that, but offers a few glimpse of a brighter future for a really fun and diverse franchise.

Immortals of Aveum is a surprising shooter, characterized by a very peculiar and evocative setting, well supported by a story that may not be original but is able to involve and enthrall with its well-drawn characters. At first a bit uncertain, the gameplay quickly takes hold taking us inside ruthless and frenetic arenas, which from a certain point onwards become perhaps too hostile, suggesting us to fall back and strengthen the hero by taking advantage of the possibilities of a structure that, however, from this point of view is not at all deepened.

While it's definitely not a racing game that'll make your head spin, F1 2009 is indeed a much more polished game than the last Formula 1 games.

The Devil in Me could have been the final pearl by Supermassive in recent years with the Dark Pictures Anthology and instead ends up collapsing on the weight of its own ambitions. It's really a shame, because a few more forethought from an authorial point of view and a shorter overall duration would have been enough to pack the icing on the cake of a project that has given interesting vibes. It would be stupid not to recommend the purchase to those who have followed the whole process and still have not got tired of the formula.

Enotria: The Last Song deserves full marks, we are absolutely certain of this. But it is a title full of imperfections: this too is undeniable. Imperfections that denote a certain inexperience of the development team who chose to risk too much, to launch themselves into one of the most complex genres of the current videogame market, where there are some practically unattainable progenitors and a small handful of other exponents who, with difficulty, they did it. Unfortunately, Enotria is very far from all of these and although it offers an experience that, we are sure, will give some satisfaction to those who need to play at least one soulslike a month, it does not allow us to overlook all the problems associated with its game mechanics and the experience it offers. Our hope is that the team takes advantage of the criticism and launches headlong into a sequel capable of drastically improving every single aspect of the game while maintaining a certainly very fascinating imagery.

Interesting enough to be noticed, City of Brass lacks in terms of environmental variety and refinement.

Blair Witch is a powerful psychological horror, far from perfect but full of memorable scenes.

Pretty short and with ordinary gameplay, Flying Hamster reaches to stand out thanks to the cute graphics and the surreal hero.

Batman: Arkham City Lockdown feels like a missed opportunity: it's merely an Infinity Blade clone, stripped down of many of the elements which made that game such a huge success.

It is very hard to be a god, especially if he has lost his memory and does not know how to control his powers.

Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon is a quite demanding entry in the long lasting franchise which will appeal fans of any age thanks to its impressive depth, colorful visuals and an entertaining and surprisingly dark story.

Tron: Catalyst is, ultimately, this: a beautiful promise poorly fulfilled. Leave it in the metaverse.

The Fidelio Incident is a good walking simulator which fails when trying to be a video game.

Killer Klowns from Outer Space: The Gameis the unexpected clone that has no reason to exist.

Clandestine is a great cooperative game and a good single player game. Try it if you are in search of an original take on the stealth genre.

Shallow as it is content wise, Final Fantasy Explorers is a love letter to Final Fantasy fans with tons of well known items, jobs, spells, monsters and characters.

It's truly amazing how Eidos Montreal and N-Fusion managed to squeeze so many elements of Human Revolution in Deus Ex: The Fall, but the gunplay is so awkward you're basically forced to play it stealthy. If that's ok with you, this is the closest you can get to a full fledged console title.

Brawe is brave enough to navigate the space, but for this first journey he prefers to follow the well known routes traced by old school adventures.

Pure Farming 2018 isn’t a bad game, but the latest Farming Simulators have a better harvest.

Man of Medan is in many ways similar to Until Dawn: based on narrative branches, dialogues and jump scares, but with less effectiveness.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood delivers a terrific FPS experience, with a brand new cooperative gameplay and also a brand new approach to level design.

Deliver Us Mars is better than Deliver Us The Moon and enriches the story by giving it a more human side. Maybe it is too linear, but it is a journey worth taking.

West of Dead delivers a charming roguelite experience, with a very nice visual style, interesting (but sometimes lacking) cover shooter mechanics and a great performance by Ron Perlman.

The PlayStation 4 version of Kingdom Come: Deliverance still needs some optimization to address long loading times and a dipping frame rate.

Two Worlds II: Castle Defense is a well done strategic game, with Tower Defense elements and a good characters design. A nice choice for fans of the genre.

EVE: Valkyrie can provide you with a decent VR experience, but it is poor of offline content. However, it's still one of the best game for Oculus Rift at launch.

Camelot comes back after years with a new Mario Tennis, which is as fun as it used to be, and more realistic than the last one, but too oriented toward casual gaming. It's just too easy to strike the ball properly.

Ambitious, surprising, and full of brilliant solutions, Eternal Strands is clearly a title developed by a team brimming with passion and talent, pulling off an exhilarating and uniquely complex adventure. Unfortunately, however, the resources of an independent team are what they are, and Yellow Brick Games' work is held back by modest production values, a somewhat uninspired art direction, and a few too many technical hiccups. Yet, despite its flaws, this remains an undeniable gem, giving us hope for the team's future. We can only hope it gets the recognition it deserves and that these developers can continue on their path—because with a little more time and resources, they clearly have the potential to create something truly great.

A Helicopter game for iPhone with the GTA's gameplay. The game is quite funny but unfortunately the controls are not very good.

Fallout 76: Wastelanders is all Fallout fans wanted for this game. NPCs, dialogues and factions. What else do you want more?

Age of Empires has been one of the most beloved RTS in the Nineties; this release, which is a carbon copy of the original, is the result of a nostalgia operation that we did not need.

With many heroes and a lot of fun, Battleborn could have been much more... Unfortunately some balance problems and a lack of contents don't allow the new Gearbox game to shine as the star you are supposed to conquer in the adventure.

Zombie HQ is a very nice action shooter, packed with plenty of missions, weapons and items to unlock. You can play it for free or buy something to make your experience more complete, but either way the result is great.

ACE Team achieved something different with Abyss Odyssey, mixing platform, fighting and roguelike to create an unique, hardcore experience that will both please and test you.

Building a mobile RPG with gacha elements on Disney universe (or metaverse) is surely a clever idea and Disney Mirrorverse plays very well in the action sections, but it's still just another gacha game, with the classic predatory monetization and overly complicated progression system.

This is clearly a jRPG developed only for the fans of the genre.

Front Mission 1st is a remake that renews the '95 game mainly from a graphic standpoint. Maybe that's enough for some, but we would have preferred something bigger and more exciting.

Rainbow Six Extraction is a frantic but tactical first person shooter that gives its best experience playing with other 2 people. Possibly good friends. It has several flaws in terms of balance and regarding the player progression but if you want an hardcore experience, Extraction could be perfect for you.

Scars Above is a game that gets lost halfway between its ambitions and the ability to realize them. It's got some interesting ideas yet staged in a clumsy way. If you come to terms with its many limits and uncertainties, the experience can certainly deliver a few pleasant moments and some challenges.

Alien Breed Evolution is a really nice looking shooter which never betrays its '90's heritage. It's probably worth the price only for the true fans of the original game.

A nice tower defence, with a strong editing component. Some flaws and lack of variety lower the overall score.

This new Fruit Ninja's chapter is a funny, juicy-action frenzy more of the same we saw some years ago on Xbox 360.

Warhammer 40,000: Sanctus Reach is a good strategy game that lacks in narrative terms.

Crime O'Clock is undoubtedly a highly successful game that provides approximately ten hours of relaxation and entertainment. It engages players with well-established mechanics blended with novel elements that make its formula more distinctive. It will certainly appeal to fans of hidden object games and those seeking a relaxing and well-crafted experience, accompanied by a compelling narrative aspect.

Sherlock Holmes Chapter One refines the formula of The Sinking City, offering a more investigative and varied game, which will probably appeal to hardcore fans of Frogwares' works. However, the main plot is a bit weak and rushed, although the total content is supported by various pleasant side events.

Sonic Dash is a decent endless run, with some good graphics and accurate controls, but it doesn't add anything new to the genre.

Broken Sword 5: The Serpent's Curse - Episode 1 is only half of the whole game: when it finally catches our attention, the story ends abruptly.

Mixing the good old turn-based strategic with the deck building card game is a brilliant idea, perfectly performed by Rose City Games in Floppy Knights. Between tactical thinking and the surprises of the card battle, all represented in an interesting fashion, this is a game that can be addictive, if you bear its not so lively rhythm.

Murasaki Baby shows a twisted and fascinating style and several intriguing ideas. However, beyond its shortness and tangled controls, it fails in establishing a strong and emotional connection between the player and Baby.

Vampyr is a solid action RPG with a nice combat system, interesting characters and great atmosphere. The Nintendo Switch version, however, is not the best one to enjoy this kind of experience.

Magicka 2 is the same fun as the original was, just more polished and with a bunch of cool new ideas.

Outcast: A New Beginning is a game filled with ups and downs: on one hand, the freedom of movement granted by the jetpack and the speed at which you traverse Adelpha is exhilarating and somewhat refreshing, especially compared to many open-world games where even climbing over walls requires dedicated animations to consume time and inflate playtime; on the other hand, the inevitable burden of repetitiveness in some of the activities offered somewhat hampers the experience.

Let's Golf! 3 could ask you from 79 cents to 39.99 euros in order to play without limitations, but the game also rewards your skill by giving you some virtual money every time you win a match. The bottom line is you can actually play for hours without paying anything, that's great. In terms of gameplay, this new episode is very similar to Let's Golf! 2, it comes with a lot of modes and also gives you the opportunity to play online matches for up to four players.

Star Ocean: The Divine Force is a far better game than its predecessor at least, and there's a glimmer of greatness in some of its newest features which is sadly obscured by a very outdated vision of the JRPG genre.

Visuals are rough, interface is clunky and the game is not really updated to the latest expansion pack, however there is a lot to love if you are a fan of the franchise and the tactical gameplay is surprisingly deep.

WWE Undefeated delivers a pretty unique experience, with very nice graphics, a fast matchmaking and a solid, strategic gameplay that will please the WWE fans out there.

An amazing porting for one of the most compelling RPG ever.
